James "Jim" Vaccaro

Jim Vaccaro was instrumental in making the Mashpee Night at the Pops possible.
Thanks to Jim, Mashpee Commons was the gracious host to Mashpee Night at the Pops for 20 years.
Jim was President, Executive Director, and Producer of the Mashpee Night at Pops. 
In 2011, the last year of Mashpee Night of the Pops, Jim was the Guest Conductor for the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra. 
We would like to celebrate all the contributions Jim made to Mashpee and the life on the Cape we all love.

Dear Friends of Mashpee Pops,

It is with a heavy heart and great sorrow that we share with you the sad news that our friend Jim Vaccaro passed away suddenly on March 15, 2020.

He was perhaps best known for his extensive involvement in civic, community and philanthropic affairs. His pride and joy was Mashpee Night at the Pops, involved from its inception, he became its President and later its executive producer, and help grow the event to become, for 20 years, the biggest night of the year in Mashpee. At the final Pops event in 2011, his colleagues honored him by being Guest Conductor of the Symphony which he described as being the longest two minutes of his life.
